had at least four years’ air experience, during which at least 600 hours must have
been spent in the air, not less than 100 hours of this being experience of navigation
in the air and not less than 15 hours being air experience in night flying.
(4) In this paragraph the expression “air experience” means experience as
an operative member of the crew of an aircraft.

Sub-Schedule A.

(i) Form of the earth; its divisions and their notation; mathematical
calculation of the various elements by plane trigonometry to obtain course and
distance.
(ii) Maps and charts; how to read and use them; practical properties of
the common forms of projections.
(iii) Compasses; their construction and use and adjustment; elementary
principles of earth’s magnetism.
(iv) Flight by dead reckoning; with the use of instruments for the measure-
ment and calculation of the elements of the triangle of velocities.
(v) Navigation by radiogoniometry; methods of fixing the position of the
aircraft; with the application of the necessary corrections.
(vi) International air legislation; regulations for the prevention of collisions
at sea; publications for the assistance of navigators.
(vii) Signalling—semaphore, flashing, and international code flags.
(viii) Meteorology; knowledge of meteorological elements and observations;
arrangements for the issue of meteorological reports for aviation; principles of
forecasting; construction and interpretation of synoptic charts; climatology.

Sub-Schedule B.

(i) Form of the earth, as in Sub-Schedule A (i), with the addition of mathe-
matical calculation of various elements by spherical trigonometry (great circle
courses and distances).
(ii) Maps and charts, as in Sub-Schedule A (ii), with the addition of the
principles of construction of the common forms of projections.
(iii) Tides—elementary theory and prediction by the aid of tables.
(iv) Compasses, as in Sub-Schedule A (iii); more advanced knowledge.
(v) Flight by dead reckoning, as in Sub-Schedule A (iv).
(vi) Navigation by radiogoniometry, as in Sub-Schedule A (v).
(vii) International air legislation, &c., as in Sub-Schedule A (vi).
(viii) Signalling, as in Sub-Schedule A (vii), with the addition of general
knowledge of radio-electric communication.
(ix) Astronomical navigation; various methods of fixing the position of an
aircraft, with the use and care of tables, diagrams, and instruments for the
solution of this problem; knowledge of the mathematics involved.
(x) Meteorology as in Sub-Schedule A (viii); more advanced knowledge.
(xi) Internal-combustion engines; general handling.
NOTE.—The arrangement of subjects in Sub-Schedules A and B is not neces-
sarily that adopted in the examination, where two or more subjects may be
grouped into one paper.

    as if it had been granted under these regulations.

VALIDITY OF LICENCES ISSUED IN HIS MAJESTY’S DOMINIONS.

32. A licence granted by the duly competent authority of any place within
    His Majesty’s dominions to a pilot, navigator, or engineer shall, for the purpose
    of these regulations, have the same validity and effect and may be cancelled or

A.—REGISTRATION.

Fees in respect of Licence.

1. THE fee chargeable on the issue of a certificate of registration of an aircraft
   shall be £1 1s.
   Provided that, where the aircraft has been previously registered in New
